Tooth extraction is made easier by the presence of dental forceps. Each type serves a purpose, and an especially common one is the alligator forceps. It works much the same way as an alligator’s mouth – two slender jaws that open and close to facilitate the removal of troublesome teeth.

Forceps with a hinged design offer a much superior leverage when it comes to extracting larger teeth, as they let the jaws spread much wider, thus allowing for a much firmer and more efficient grip.

The third type of forceps available are the ratchet forceps, distinguished by its unique ratchet mechanism. This allows the forceps to open and close in a regulated manner, making them suitable for removing larger teeth with precision. Additionally, ratchet forceps are frequently used when a tooth is either Impacted or fused to the jawbone, as its controlled movements make them ideal for loosening that tooth.

Utilizing stainless steel, a dental extraction forceps is prepared for its purpose by undergoing sterilization before use. It is positioned over the identified tooth, with its jaws opened. Cleaving to the intent of extraction, the jaw is then compressed against the tooth and pressure exerted to remove it.

Dental extraction forceps help make up an essential part of dental care, used to pry away teeth that are affected by decay, damage, or are stuck in the jawbone. These forceps come in handy when trying to free teeth that have stubbornly fused to the bone.
